One of many 5G soil-moisture probes throughout the apple orchards of Swans Trail Farms in Snohomish, Wash. It was one of 5G’s big selling points: millions of always-connected internet-of-things devices exchanging data wirelessly at lightning speed, revolutionizing the portability of everything from augmented-reality goggles to surveillance cameras. Several years into the 5G rollout, the internet-of-things boom largely hasn’t happened. There were about 4.4 million 5G-connected internet-of-things devices in the U.S. in 2021, according to analysis firm International Data Corp.—a sizable number but a drop in the bucket compared with the nearly 100 million smartphones capable of 5G.

Chogo/Xinhua/Getty ImagesAs well as boasting the longest network of high-speed lines in the world, China now has the fastest scheduled trains on the planet. A statement of intent by China’s booming railway technology industry, the Fuxing trains have been developed from previous generations of high-speed trains, which were based on technology imported from Europe and Japan. The design also forms the basis of the Siemens “Velaro” family of high-speed trains, which has been sold to Spain, Russia, Turkey, China and to Eurostar for its second generation international trains. Europe’s first dedicated high-speed network is still its best known and most successful, reaching out well beyond France’s borders. Frecciarossa services operate across Italy’s T-shaped high-speed network, linking Turin, Milan and Venice in the north with Bologna, Florence, Rome and Naples.

☆ Ghinion pentru Federico Marchetti. Portarul echipei "rossoblu" şi-a găsit Ferrari-ul distrus

Ghinion pentru colegul lui Daniel Dumbravanu de la Genoa, Federico Marchetti!Portarul echipei "rossoblu" a avut surpriza de a-și găsi distrus Ferrari-ul, prețul căreia este de 300 de mii de euro.Jucătorul, în vârstă de 37 de ani, s-a dus la spălătoria auto și și-a lăsat "bijuteria" pe mâna unui angajat, care a dat dovadă o tragică neîndemânare pentru că la o manevră obișnuită a parcat automobilul direct într-un zid.Presa din Italia a scris că bărbatul nu a avut nevoie de îngrijri medicale, iar poliția a sosit rapid să facă primele cercetări la locul accidentului. Norocul lui Marchetti este că bolidul său Superfast 812, care ajunge în trei secunde la o viteză de 100 kilometri pe oră, avea asigurare.Acum, fostul portar al naționalei Italiei, va merge la antrenamente cu taxiul sau probabil își va cumpăra un alt automobil de lux.Chiar și așa, sportivul va trebui să renunțe deocamdată la această ideea. Cel puțin până la meciul cu Juventus din Cupa Italiei.Miercuri, 13 ianuarie, gruparea antrenată de Davide Ballardini va juca la Torino cu "Bătrâna Doamnă".
